    Why should they have? Well? Besides, "Zionism" or even Proto-Zionism" didn't even exist until 1860. Why don't bigots like you do just a little research before parading your ignorance in front of everyone?

    Quakers and Pilgrims came to America to escape Zionism . 

    i doubt they wanted to elect a Pope with Smoke

    The term "Zionism" is derived from the word Zion (Hebrew: ציון‎ ,Tzi-yon), referring to Jerusalem. Throughout eastern Europe in the late 19th century, numerous grassroots groups promoted the national resettlement of the Jews in their homeland, as well as the revitalization and cultivation of the Hebrew language. These groups were collectively called the "Lovers of Zion" and were seen as countering a growing Jewish movement toward assimilation. The first use of the term is attributed to the Austrian Nathan Birnbaum, founder of the Kadimah nationalist Jewish students' movement; he used the term in 1890 in his journal Selbstemanzipation! (Self-Emancipation),[30] itself named almost identically to Leon Pinsker's 1882 book Auto-Emancipation.
